Spinal anaesthesia

In the 1970s PAJUNK® revolutionised spiral anaesthesia with the SPROTTE® cannula, a joint development with Prof. Sprotte. Due to the atraumatic tip geometry it was the first puncture cannula that reduced all side effects of spinal anaesthesia to a minimum, making it an alternative for general anaesthetic.

These atraumatic quality features lead to outstanding gliding properties, minimise injuries during puncture and prevent the introduction of foreign objects and tissue particles into the spinal space. The time required between puncture and injection of the anaesthetic is markedly reduced, because the geometry of the lateral eye encourages the free flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which is also immediately recognised by the user thanks to the special cannula hub.
